How big is WPT Poker?
WPT Poker is backed by two of the industry's biggest players: The World Poker Tour and bwin.party. The combined strength of these brands draw in peak traffic of 3,000 players.
Is it good value?
Up to 30% returns from the Palladium VIP club, soft games - thanks to PartyGaming's global marketing drive making it a household name - and monthly promotions make WPT a popular primary or secondary site for most online poker players.
| Update – As of June 3, 2015, WPT Poker has closed, to focus efforts on PartyPoker and bwin. |

WPT Poker Rakeback Payments
When it comes time to collect WPT Rakeback, players can choose when to claim their bonus from the points store. We suggest waiting and cashing in as many points at one time as this will dramatically increase your effective WPT Poker rakeback percentage.
Ultimately, collecting WPT Points and trading them for bonuses is by far the most profitable use of your points, much higher value than purchasing merchandise or electronics in the store.
